“Sorry, I just...”
 
 “Let me help,” she whispered, twisting and stroking.
 
 And I let her.
 
 I was desperate for her help.
 
 Begging for her to free me.
 
 “That feels really good,” I murmured, unable to look at her but willing to feel what she did to me.
 
 “Tell me how you like it.” She added pressure.
 
 I trembled. “Like that. I like it...hard.”
 
 “Like this?” She fisted me.
 
 I convulsed again.
 
 I could come from that.
 
 I could let myself go and release before I was ever inside her.
 
 I didn’t have to fuck her.
 
 Didn’t have to free myself from Neri this way.
 
 What if I can’t...?
 
 What if it doesn’t work?
 
 But what if I don’t try?
 
 What if I always felt this way and never learned how to be free? Doomed to always want what I couldn’t have and never be happy?
 
 Rhea suddenly scooted down the bed, her hair tickling my belly.
 
 “Holy fuuuck—” I jack-knifed up and fell backward with a hiss as Rhea sucked me.
 
 She wasn’t shy like before.
 
 Her mouth encircled me, her tongue speared the tip, and her hand slid down my length as she deep-throated me.
 
 A stream of my native tongue filled my head.
 
 A barrage of curses.
 
 A storm of lust—
 
 Her lips crashed hotly to mine.
 
 Her breasts crushed firmly against my wet t-shirt.
 
 Her hands yanked at my hair, sending bolts of pain and indescribable need.
 
 She dove her tongue deliciously into my mouth.
 
 I convulsed.
